| Im going to regret my cable question I recommend Anti-Cables, they are amazing and affordable. I used to have Audience AU24, Wireworld Equinox, even Acoustic Zen and then I tried the Anti Cables and they blew the rest away, way more open transparent, crystal clear, details that I nev... | |
| Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with? Personally I have not gone fully active, but I love the idea of a clean simple system... Two speakers, a streamer, a power conditioner, 4 power cords and one or two interconnects.. Back in the day I used to install a lot of Genelec speakers which... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Just buy every Bill Evans album and buy everything Oscar Peterson ... | |
| Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? I use a Italian Lector ZOE preamp, with a CI audio class D amp with excellent results. The ZOE got a major major upgrade when I installed NOS brimar tubes, totally transformed it, the ciaudio is stock except for a excellent Synergistic Research fu... | |
| what is more popular silver or black face plates Has to be black... Black is pure class, doesn't stick out at night when I do most of my listening... Silver is a eyesore, and it looks cheap and unfinished IMO | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 Personally I would keep the Aurender because of the hard drive capability. In my Aurender N150 I have a few hundred albums on the SSD drive, my entire CD collection ripped in WAV format. I use the streaming with Qobuz a fair amount but mainly play... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? - Bill Evans trio ’Live at Shelley’s Manne Hole’ - Oscar Peterson ’We Get Requests’ - Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson - Jim Hall & Red Mitchell 'Valse Hot' Or for something more modern and funky look into Jiro Inagaki And I’ll throw in ’... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, why did they change it ? I have a OG with the V.2 analog cards and Unison USB I upgraded myself, when I found out about the upgrade program I thought cool, I'll get the latest and greatest chips in my unit. When I took it into the Schittr they guys there said that mine ... | |
| Power cord Neither, get Acoustic Zen, Krakatoa or better, those are by far my favorite cords, they are magical... Or maybe Acoustic Revive but those are kinda harder to find, I have one of the ones that's like $1300 and it’s really good but kinda stiff. | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction Earlier I made a comment that simply said I heard that Dartzeel all in one integrated amp/streamer box at the Hifi show in socal a few months ago and that it was really good and I don't know what it costs, it's probably expensive... I also said I... | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction I’ve heard that Dartzeel integrated amp/streamer one box set up at the audio show a few months ago and it’s fantastic .. not sure how much it costs, but one of the best one box setups in the world I would think. Personally I love the gold finish,... | |
| ??? Fuse UpGrade??What Size??? I can vouch for the Synergistic fuses, I was skeptical, put one orange in my amp... Then I had to do every fuse, my preamp, my DAC, my streamer now all have SR fuses. Some really good snake oil that adds warmth, analog, real sounding performance v... | |
| Power cord upgrade I had a Anticables PC on my Aurender N150, I thought it was good, I use Anticables speaker wires and they blew away my Wireworld Equinox and Audience AU24... But I use Acoustic Zen on everything else, interconnects are AZ Absolute etc, and I love... | |
| Amp Stands - Wood or Stone I say wood, look up Butcher Block Acoustics they make all kinds of stuff in rock maple and walnut, they will custom make you anything and not charge insane prices... Wood is more of a natural musical material IMO.. Like a violin or guitar, it sh... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA @baylinor yeah they are very study and well engineered, I was hoping to love them. They probably work for most speakers, but in my system I got a better soundstage and smoother sound with the carbon fiber pucks from Amazon and then a round piece ... |
